Aeris Annual Report 2022

WHAT DOES SUSTAINABILITY MEAN TO AERIS?
Sustainability is built from choices we make every day. The world we live
in is constantly changing and in response, resource companies are
transforming how they do business.
As an Australian producer of the minerals and metals
that drive our renewable future, we see Aeris playing
an important role in this transitioning world.
In FY2022, we developed the Aeris Sustainability
Strategy, focusing on four key areas underpinned by
the principle of ‘Good for business, good for others’.
OUR FOUR KEY FOCUS AREAS:
BIODIVERSITY AND LAND
Objective: Planning and delivering positive
environment, economic and social
legacy from discovery to closure.
Why it matters:
• Biodiversity is a leading indicator of healthy
landscapes and environment values.
• Land restoration is part of the mining life cycle.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Objective: Building more equal diverse, fair and
02
inclusive workplaces which align to the diversity
of our community.
Why it matters:
• Diversity contributes richness to culture, decision
making, ability to change and innovation.
• Diversity facilitates people of all backgrounds
and abilities to join our workforce, prosper, and
feel connected.
CARBON AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Objective: Reducing carbon footprint and
03
supporting renewable energy.
Why it matters:
• We are experiencing a global transformation to low
carbon energy.
• Equipment and electricity markets will transition,
providing opportunities to reduce the carbon
footprint of our operations.
WATER EFFICIENCY AND CONTAINMENT
Objective: Using water resources
04
efficiently and effectively.
Why it matters:
• Water resilience is critical for our operations and
the well being of the communities we operate in.
• Water is fundamental for healthy water environments
and supporting biodiversity.
